Hey there!
Anything to the power of 0 is 1. So that means x can be equal to any number. Let's say 1^0, it will still equal 1. 2^0 is also equal to 1. X is therefore not a number since it can be anything.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The line intersects each parabola in one point, so is tangent to both.
__
For the first parabola, the point of intersection is ...
y^2 = 4(-y-1)
y^2 +4y +4 = 0
(y+2)^2 = 0
y = -2 . . . . . . . . one solution only
x = -(-2)-1 = 1
The point of intersection is (1, -2).
__
For the second parabola, the equation is the same, but with x and y interchanged:
x^2 = 4(-x-1)
(x +2)^2 = 0
x = -2, y = 1 . . . . . one point of intersection only
___
If the line is not parallel to the axis of symmetry, it is tangent if there is only one point of intersection. Here the line x+y+1=0 is tangent to both y^2=4x and x^2=4y.
_____
Another way to consider this is to look at the two parabolas as mirror images of each other across the line y=x. The given line is perpendicular to that line of reflection, so if it is tangent to one parabola, it is tangent to both.
Factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm
we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=
0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16
